A long-lasting economic revival is possible only in conditions of increase in investment, of maximal use of production capacities. Any economic growth requires funding, too. Investment financing constitutes a significant step in the investment process whereby financial resources are incorporated in the budget of the investment and may be used for payment in order to achieve a project.
